where I left you last

You came along like an old favourite songBut your tune fell too heavy;Your notes out of keyI held myself back but I wanted to askWhy your roots had grown steady;Your branches cut clean

So what, or who, stopped youOn the path where I left you last?

Because, in a time and a placeWhen really we were both boysYou confessed that you wanted a life by the sea;Get a boat and a familySo when I see you now in a suit and a frownIt brings me downAnd makes me want to know

What, or who, stopped youOn the path where I left you last?

I’m not sure who you’re trying to convinceThat you’ve moved on leaps and bounds sinceThere’s something of the devil about you;It’s something strange and it’s bringing me down

You came along like an old fashioned songThat nobody remembers but meYou’ve fallen from grace down a path I can’t chaseBut I’ll prayAnd I’m sure that The Lord will put you backOn your trackSo I can quit bugging you, singing
